Black Muslim US soldier is a suspect! ("10 U.S. Soldiers Hurt In Grenade Attack")
CBS News website ^ | 3-22-03 | CBS

(CBS) Ten U.S. soldiers were injured, six or seven of them seriously, in a grenade and small arms attack at Camp Pennsylvania in northern Kuwait, reports CBS News Correspondent Mark Strassmann, who is traveling with the U.S. Army's 101st Airborne Division.

Strassmann said the grenades were rolled into two commanders' tents at the camp. When officers ran from the tents, they were hit by small arms fire.

"From our reports it appears that a terrorist penetrated Camp Pennsylvania, one or more terrorists threw two hand grenades into a tent," said George Heath, spokesman at Fort Campbell, home base of the 101st.

Strassman said three suspects were being held for questioning, two Kuwaitis who served a translators and an American soldier described as a black Muslim.

The injured soldiers were rushed to a field hospital but military officials had no word on their conditions, Lt. Cmdr. Charles Owens said from Camp As Sayliyah in Qatar.

The military did not identify the unit of the 101st that was in the camp but said it had been in Kuwait for about one week. Most of the division has entered southern Iraq.

Separately, Strassmann reported, an Iraqi rocket fired at U.S. forces in Kuwait was destroyed by Patriot missiles launched from nearby Camp New Jersey.

The terror and missile attack came as the U.S. assault on Iraq gained steam. American and British forces besieged the southern city of Basra and pounded Baghdad with impunity. But tough fighting loomed for coalition troops as they pressed deeper into Iraq.

This too bizarre. Black (and otherwise) muslims who are being preached anti-American vitriol are marching towards Baghdad as we speak with their mullahs in tow.

Kafka couldn't write a more bizarre script. Time to wake up from the long PC nightmare, folks.

It isn't an assertion. It is fact. Go visit Google and learn: Saudi Arabian funding of Wahabbi mosques in the USA.

What does that tell you about Islam's ability to peacefully co-exist on this planet?

They need to convert from the Satan cult to the light!

He cited a recent Gallup poll of nine Islamic countries showing that 60 percent of those polled said they believe that Israel or the Jews were behind the 9-11 terrorist attacks.

Not the 90%, but a good majority.

Proof

My Brother flew something like twenty seven missions without a break over Italy, and Africa during WWII in a bomber that flew so low he could see the people on the ground he was bombing. After he returned they sent him to San Diego for six weeks because he had what they called battle fatigue, but after that he was fine.

BTW I can’t remember what kind of bomber he flew. If any Army Air Corp buffs know what kind of plane that was, I would be grateful if you could tell me.

Nine of 16 Islamic chaplains in the military are from the Wahabbi strain of Islam.

This was noted tonight on FNC by Frank Gaffney.


BUMP to Frank and truth!

<< Thank God that people didn't let Tim McVeigh define white Christians in their mind (despite Clinton's best efforts).
>>

Tim McVeigh was no Christian!!!!! His last words were from the poem Invictus "I am the captain of my soul, I am the master of my fate." No acknowledgement of God at all. He was either an atheist or agnostic. He did not commit his act of terror in the name of any God (Christian or other). So please don't call him a Christian!!!!!

By the way, his partner, Terry Nichols, married a woman from the Philipines and made several visits there. At the time Ramzi Yousef (involved in the '93 WTC bombing) was based in the Philipines.

It'll be interesting to see if the networks report this story accurately, and thoroughly.

Exactly.

This isn't about race, or skin color.

This is about a violent, fascist religion that expects its adherents to violently subjugate everyone else on earth...or else kill them.

I've read the Koran, don't know how many in here have. And in numerous places it tells adherents to kill those who refuse to convert, those who blaspheme Mohammed or the religion, etc. There isn't getting around the violence condoned in the Koran.

So far as I know, there's nothing in the Bible actually commanding anyone to kill anyone else. Certainly the New Testament contains no such language.

The Koran most certainly does.

So in the heart of the radical Islamic world, 6 in 10 thought this. Quite a bit different than the 9 in 10 here in the US that you claimed. Your proof doesn't make your point, it disproves it.
